Born on September 3, 1984, in Roseau, Minnesota, Garrett Hedlund is an American actor and musician who transitioned from a childhood on a remote cattle farm to Hollywood stardom within weeks of moving to Los Angeles at age 18. He made a high-profile debut as Patroclus in the 2004 epic Troy and quickly built a diverse filmography with roles in Friday Night Lights, Four Brothers, and the sci-fi blockbuster Tron: Legacy. Beyond mainstream hits, Hedlund has earned critical acclaim for more nuanced performances in independent and prestige films such as On the Road, Inside Llewyn Davis, and the Oscar-nominated Mudbound. A talented vocalist and guitarist, he performed his own songs in the film Country Strong and continues to balance acting with music, recently appearing in the series Tulsa King and Lawmen: Bass Reeves.

Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a century, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Ravenfell, sinister forces are massing beyond the kingdom's protective border. At the center of the conflict lie the Lockes of Ravenfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce Elves carry men off into madness and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. Amid plots and counter plots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Lockes, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the war of territory.
